This is the ultimate example of the kind of "good idea" that will be the ruin of the U.S. Army.

Actually, it's a very good idea and it's already helped my unit to overcome logistical support problems that would be next to impossible to solve under the old Army system.

I appreciate the service of the "older" folks here on FR, but just because something changes in the military from the way it was when you were in doesn't automatically make it a bad idea.

If a name change improves logistical support, then don't you suppose that there was something else wrong?

My point is that the Army gratuitously changes names for no apparent reason or benefit.

Thanks for being patronizing.  I'm sure I'm completely wrong and have no basis for my opinion that an apparently gratuitous name change is a bad idea.

My point wasn't that it's wrong to change things.  My point was that to take a unit with the history of 2ID and give it this neutered buzzword sounding name is ignorant.
